    I was wondering if i would be able to use the 3 finger gesture on the multitouch touch pad to go back and forward through pages, safari allows me too but was just wondering if FF supports it also.

    Firefox beta 3.5 natively does. The current firefox release you need to dl an addon. But the beta 3.5 lets me use it natively.

    I dont like in Safari how there isnt a open file now instead of saving in Safari. So I had to switch to Firefox.

    MultiClutch lets you configure it for Firefox.

    what the heck does that mean? i can't find anything that fits to the words your using, and I just cant follow what its supposed to mean. My safari has Open File, and plenty of save options too...

    When you download a file in Safari, it automatically saves it to the folder you chose, there is no option to just have it open as soon as you click download. In firefox you can choose to save the file or open it as soon as you download it.

    thats why it has "open safe files after downloading" option... but I don't care for ever opening when I click to download something. Not quite the same as being able to choose at each download, but a lot less chance of security issues as well as just messed up running wrong issues, calling wrong apps or anything else.
